Who Do you need to see?

​Psychiatry:Psychiatrists are medical doctors who have dedicated an additional 5 years to gain skills and expertise in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of psychiatric and psychological challenges that can impair day to day function or cause distress. These challenges can stem from brain-based disorders, interpersonal or relational challenges, negative thought patterns, traumatic experiences and intense emotional experiences that can be overwhelming. Psychiatrists, especially those specializing in the field of Child and Adolescent, are in high demand which results in long waitlists. In an effort to offer help to as many patients as possible, psychiatrists at Three Story Clinic may choose to focus on assessment, diagnosis and the creation of a treatment plan and have limited availability to deliver the "talk treatments" that are often the mainstay of intervention. Please contact the clinicto discuss the best therapy option for you or your child. Meet our Psychiatrists.

Psychology:Psychologists are mental health professionals who provide services to manage the cognitive, behavioural, emotional, interpersonal and physical functioning of individuals or groups. Psychologists at Three Story Clinic are specifically trained to tease out complex learning challenges and behavioural challenges with children and teenagers. They can diagnose behavioural, emotional, cognitive and mental disorders and can provide specific tools to help manage and overcome health problems or learning challenges within the academic environment. If a patient is dealing with learning challenges, a psycho-educational assessment may be offered to provide guidelines and recommendations to the patient’s school to optimize the learning environment for a child’s specific needs.Meet our Psychologists.
